Product Liability: Holding Companies Accountable for Dangerous Products

Every day, consumers rely on thousands of products to live, work, and care for their families. From the cars we drive and the medical devices we depend on, to the food and household appliances we use daily, we place enormous trust in manufacturers to provide safe products. Unfortunately, this trust is sometimes misplaced. When a product is defectively designed, poorly manufactured, or sold without proper warnings, it can cause devastating injuries.
Product liability law exists to protect consumers from dangerous products and to hold corporations responsible when negligence causes harm. Unlike typical negligence cases, product liability claims often involve strict liability. This means a manufacturer, distributor, or retailer may be held accountable even if they did not act intentionally or recklessly. The goal is to ensure that consumers are not left to bear the cost of injuries caused by unsafe products.
Attorneys Geoff Moore and Spencer Payne, founding partners of Moore Payne Law, are committed to fighting for those injured by defective products. With deep experience in complex injury and wrongful death cases, they have the skill and resources to take on powerful corporations and insurance companies.

Types of Product Liability Cases

Product liability claims generally fall into three main categories:
  1. Defective Design – A flaw exists in the product’s design that makes it inherently unsafe. For example, an SUV prone to rollover accidents or a medical device designed with unstable components. Even when manufactured correctly, these products pose a danger.
  2. Manufacturing Defects – A mistake occurs during the production process, making an otherwise safe product hazardous. Examples include contaminated prescription drugs, improperly welded auto parts, or electronics with faulty wiring that cause fires.
  3. Failure to Warn (Marketing Defects) – A product may be dangerous if consumers are not properly warned. This includes missing safety labels, inadequate instructions, or misleading advertising that downplays risks.
Moore Payne Law handles a wide range of product liability cases, including:
  • Dangerous prescription drugs and defective medical devices
  • Faulty auto parts, such as airbags, brakes, or tires
  • Children’s toys or furniture with choking hazards or tipping risks
  • Exploding batteries, defective chargers, and other hazardous electronics
  • Industrial and workplace equipment lacking proper safeguards

Common Injuries Caused by Defective Products

When a product fails, the results can be catastrophic. Victims of defective products may suffer:
  • Severe burns and electrocution from faulty electronics or flammable materials
  • Traumatic brain injuries or spinal cord damage from auto part failures or industrial equipment defects
  • Organ damage and long-term illness from dangerous drugs or toxic substances
  • Fractures, amputations, or crushing injuries from malfunctioning machinery
  • Fatal injuries leading to wrongful death claims
The physical, emotional, and financial toll of these injuries can last a lifetime. Victims often require extended medical care, rehabilitation, or adaptive equipment, and families may face overwhelming expenses and income loss.

Compensation Available to Victims

Victims of defective products may be entitled to compensation through a product liability claim. Depending on the circumstances, recoverable damages may include:
  • Medical Expenses: Coverage for hospital stays, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and long-term care needs.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for missed work and diminished earning potential due to permanent disability.
  • Pain and Suffering: Recovery for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the injury.
  • Property Damage: Reimbursement for personal property damaged by the defective product.
  • Wrongful Death Damages: In cases where a defective product causes death, families may recover funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and financial support.
Moore Payne Law’s attorneys carefully evaluate the full impact of an injury to ensure clients receive the compensation they need for both current and future losses.

How Moore Payne Law Builds a Case

Product liability cases are complex and require a strategic, evidence-driven approach. At Moore Payne Law, our process includes:
  • Investigation: Collecting the product, examining it for defects, and reviewing production records.
  • Expert Testimony: Working with engineers, safety specialists, and medical experts to establish the product’s dangers and the extent of injuries.
  • Regulatory Research: Investigating whether the manufacturer violated federal safety standards or ignored recall warnings.
  • Negotiation and Litigation: Fighting against large corporations and their insurers, with trial-ready preparation to ensure clients are not pressured into unfair settlements.
Attorneys Geoff Moore and Spencer Payne have built their reputations on client-focused, trial-tested advocacy. They know how to counter the defense strategies of major corporations and ensure that injured individuals have a strong voice in the legal system.

Why Product Liability Cases Matter

Product liability cases do more than compensate injured victims—they also create accountability. By holding companies responsible, these cases force corporations to prioritize safety, improve quality control, and provide accurate warnings. This helps prevent future injuries and protects the public at large.
Without strong legal advocacy, dangerous products could remain on the market, continuing to put consumers at risk. Moore Payne Law is dedicated to ensuring that negligent companies are held to the highest standards of accountability.

Conclusion

Consumers should be able to trust that the products they purchase are safe. When that trust is broken, the consequences can be devastating. If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective product, you should not face the aftermath alone.
